PREDICTIVE INTELLIGENCE

What is SSE ?
SSE at its core is designed to protect data and reduce risk through a single platform that combines access control , threat protection , data security , security monitoring and acceptable use control functionality . Security teams are often underfunded , mentally drained and lack the necessary resources to monitor every data movement , apps or endpoint usage or user behaviour . By following the SSE framework , security teams will effectively support work-from-anywhere while protecting data .

Organisations must invest in the necessary tools and frameworks , such as SSE and SASE , to provide security that protects data from anywhere .

Furthermore , with more nations adopting data privacy and data security laws like GDPR and CCPA , the need for SSE is only going to increase . The best SSE platforms need to provide integrated data protection capabilities that allow organisations to focus on their business operations and productivity .
SSE and data protection
Data no longer resides within the traditional perimeter , so having security in layers to follow and protect it is essential . When choosing an SSE platform , ensure it incorporates the bestin-class endpoint security , and advanced users and data protection capabilities . In particular , look out for the following :
• Harness User Entity and Behaviour Analytics ( UEBA ) – This is the understanding of malicious behaviour , whether it ’ s a hacker that is exploiting a compromised credential , an insider that is accidentally sharing content with wrong parties , or an insider that has become a threat to the organisation , within the system .
• Data Loss and Prevention ( DLP ) – Must be native to any SSE platform as it enables security teams , and the organisation as a whole , to understand what kind of data is being stored across all architectures : on-premises and on cloud apps . It can also enforce restrictions , redact or watermark data .
• Enterprise Digital Rights Management ( EDRM ) – The last critical layer is automating encryption . If any organisation has policies to proactively encrypt data that they know is sensitive and needs
